Ravi, I have added a change here: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~awalls/ivtv to the cx25840 module. The change ensures that the Video and Aux PLLs for CX2584x chips run close to 400 MHz, the center frequency of the VCOs. The change is essentially what the cx18 driver does for it's integrated A/V core. Please see if you get reliable audio with the CX25841 on your board with this change.
